Hamagami/Carroll Inc, an leisure branding firm, have seemingly leaked the primary photos of Sonic from the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog film, and followers usually are not pleased with what they’re seeing.

“Is this a Sonic film?” requested Naka by way of a translated model of his recent tweet. “I really feel that it is very important take a look at the entire physique visible of Sonic and head physique and abdomen. Did you not get somewhat extra stability?”

It must be famous that these photos usually are not official. The branding firm even eliminated the unique web page they have been featured on. Even if they’re official, they don’t necessairly characterize the ultimate design of the character even when they’re official. That being stated, we have now seen the official photos of Sonic’s decrease half by way of the Sonic the Hedgehog film poster, and these photographs do appear in-line with what we have already seen of the character.

As Eurogamer factors out, some Sonic followers (these poor, unlucky souls) have already said {that a} massive a part of the issue with the film model’s design is the character’s eyes. Based on some surprisingly shortly illustrated fan mock-ups which have been shared via Twitter, merely making Sonic’s eyes just a bit bigger really makes the character look considerably much less nightmarish.

It’s additionally worrisome, although totally anticipated, to see how this branding company describes Sonic’s character. According to the company, Sonic is “irreverant and sarcastic,” “chill and likable,” and “mischieveous, however not malicious.” We’re stunned the phrase “synergy” is not talked about as soon as, and we’re somewhat dissapointed that there is no point out of his love for his (most likely) canonical love for chili canine.

While we won’t officialy evaluate the upcoming Sonic movie till its November eighth launch date, we will say with confidence that we’re extra excited by the concept of a sequel to Sonic Mania than we’re by these cursed photographs.
